I see what you did there.
Whipple is the incumbent, Democrat mayor. He finished second with 23 percent of the vote in yesterday's everybody versus everybody else non-partisan primary.
Wu was among many challengers. She finished first with 30 percent of the vote.
#3 was a Republican and #4 was a non-partisan critic of the Mayor. Wu should be the favorite in the general election in November.
In these days of extreme polarization, name-calling and hate, Wu is a breadth of fresh air. Here is her platform:
Respectful. She treats all with dignity and respect.
Honest. She speaks truth and stands up for what’s right.
Kind. She always carries a caring and kind spirit.
Humble. She is a listener and servant leader, who cares deeply about the people of Wichita.
Hard Working. She is passionate and persistent to long-term goals.
Grateful. She does not take her American citizenship for granted, and believes strongly in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Of course, being a Libertarian, she is an advocate of less government, lower taxes, and de-regulation. She is also a strong proponent of law enforcement. And, as an immigrant to this country, she unabashedly proclaims her love of the American ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I see what you did there.
Republican don’t mean what it use to.
I see what you did there.
There is no reason for a Democrat to be mayor in a large city of a deep red state like Kansas. Chalk it up to local election voter apathy, which conservatives suffer from much more than leftists.
My Democrat mayor in my tiny suburb in Kansas is trying to wreak havoc on my city. Libs are taking over in Kansas - they’re like roaches - a few keep coming in and multiplying like crazy and you can’t get rid of them.
Go Lily. I voted for her.
Wu is a political novice that if victorious will have c of c/developer tracks up her backsides. They own her. She and her supporters can offer nothing but cliches and generalities as she has thus far accomplished little in the civic sphere. A former local tv reporter she covered house fires and stray dogs. Possible other accomplishments but not noted in campaign.
Whipple has shown limited leadership. Funding has not translated into a broad coalition to govern. No bold statements no inspirational “follow me up the mountain”.
I would hope both lose this cycle.
Please squeeze Mr. Whipple out of the mayor’s office. 🤓
